Abstract

(57) [Summary] (Correction) [Purpose] The purpose is to temporarily fix the conductive rubber connector to the holder in advance so that it can be used for parts for automatic assembly. [Structure] A slightly larger through hole 8 into which a conductive rubber connector 6 can be inserted is provided in a holder 7, and projections 9 (FIG. 1) or claws 10 (FIG. 2) or through holes are formed on both side walls of this through hole 8. 8A is formed in an arc shape (FIG. 3), and the conductive rubber connector 6 is inserted into the through hole 8 or 8A having such a structure and temporarily fixed. [Effect] Since the conductive rubber connector 6 can be mechanically held by both side walls of the through hole 8 or 8A, it does not fall off.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a conductive rubber connector holder for electrically connecting a printed wiring board and another printed wiring board using a conductive rubber connector, for example.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 First, the conventional technique will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. A is an exploded view showing a case where two printed wiring boards are connected by using a conventional conductive rubber connector, and FIG. B is a view showing just before assembling each part shown in FIG. FIG. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 indicates one printed wiring board, and reference numeral 2 indicates the other printed wiring board. An electric circuit 3 is printed on these printed wiring boards 1 and 2, and electrodes 4 and 5 are formed at one end of each of them. Reference numeral 6 is a conductive rubber connector 6 having a rectangular cross section and a rod shape, a part of which becomes a conductor and conducts in the direction of arrow Y. Reference numeral 7 is a plate holder for holding the conductive rubber connector 6, and a slightly larger through hole 8 into which the conductive rubber connector 6 can be inserted is formed at a predetermined position thereof. The holder 7 also serves as a spacer for both printed wiring boards 1 and 2 when they are assembled.

When both printed wiring boards 1 and 2 are connected by the conductive rubber connector 6 with this component structure, first, the holder 7 is placed on the printed wiring board 1, and the conductive rubber connector 6 is placed in the through hole 8 of the holder 7. After that, the printed wiring board 2 is placed, the electrodes 4 and 5 are connected by the conductive rubber connector 6, and both printed wiring boards 1 and 2 are tightened and fixed.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, when this assembly is automatically assembled, since the conductive rubber connector 6 is made of rubber, the elasticity thereof is damaged and the positioning cannot be performed, and the conductive rubber connector 6 is manually assembled.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, this invention has a structure in which the rod-shaped conductive rubber connector 6 can be mechanically held by both side walls of the through hole.

[0006]

[Action]

 Therefore, since the conductive rubber connector 6 can be held by the through hole 8 of this structure, it is possible to prevent the conductive rubber connector 6 from falling out of the through hole 8.

【Example】

 An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 shows a first embodiment of a holder for a conductive rubber connector according to the present invention, FIG. 1A is a partial perspective view thereof, and FIG. 1B is a partial top view thereof. 2 shows a second embodiment of a holder for a conductive rubber connector according to the present invention, FIG. 2A is a partial perspective view thereof, and FIG. 3B is a partial top view thereof. FIG. 3 is a partial top view showing a third embodiment of the conductive rubber connector holder of the present invention. The same constitution and structure as those of the conductive rubber connector holder of FIG. 4 are designated by the same reference numerals.

First, a conductive rubber connector holder according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The through hole 8 formed in the holder 7 made of a plate according to the present invention is formed into a long hole having a size that allows the rod-shaped conductive rubber connector 6 having a square cross section to be sufficiently inserted. A plurality of strip-shaped protrusions 9 were formed alternately on both side walls of the plate over the entire thickness of the plate. The conductive rubber connector 6 is previously inserted into such a through hole 8. As shown in FIG. 1B, the conductive rubber connector 6 is bent by the plurality of protrusions 9 so that the conductive rubber connector 6 does not fall out of the through hole 8 due to its repulsive force.

Next, a conductive rubber connector holder 7 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2A shows a partial cross section taken along the long side of the through hole 8 formed in the holder 7 and cut at the center thereof. In the second embodiment, a plurality of claws 10 are formed on both side walls of the through hole 8. When the conductive rubber connector 6 is inserted into such a through hole 8 in advance, the conductive rubber connector 6 is caught by the plurality of claws 10 as shown in FIG. Configured to.

The holder 7 according to the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 is different from the rectangular through holes 8 of the above-described embodiments in that the through hole 8A has a circular shape on its plane. It is formed in an arc shape. When the rod-shaped conductive rubber connector 6 is inserted into the circular arc-shaped through hole 8A, the conductive rubber connector 6 is bent in a slightly circular arc shape as shown in the figure, and the repulsive force and friction of the conductive rubber connector 6 cause both side walls of the through hole 8A. It is mechanically held in the through hole 8A and does not fall off from the through hole 8A.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the conductive rubber connector 6 that is difficult to handle is previously installed in the holder having the above structure, the conductive rubber connector 6 does not easily come off, so that it can be handled as one part and can be used as an automatic assembly part. I can do it.
